Debra Medina forming new grassroots organization

Former gubernatorial candidate Debra Medina, who captured 18 percent of the GOP primary vote with her policy-oriented campaign, said today she is in the process of forming a new grassroots organization called We Texans.

Medina said her hopes is to keep policy debate alive on issues such as Texas nullifying the new national health care legislation. But she said she also wants to tackle issues such as state legislators over-reaching to meddle in people’s lives.

(Note: Most scholars believe the Civil War resolved the question of whether states have the power to nullify federal law as a big No.)

Here’s a brief interview I had with Medina this morning.

Here’s a copy of her planned testimony to the Senate Health and Human Services Committee.
